True story:
Just after the end of fighting in WW2 (Pacific theater) Major Bailey absolutely had to get from island A to island B right away. He was not a person to meddle with. So they found him space on an overnight C-54 cargo flight. He had to fend for himself trying to sleep on the cargo.
Eventually he noticed that it was getting light outside ... so he went up to the cockpit to see how things were going. NO ONE HOME!! The crew was napping on the cargo just as he had.
